I have a table named 'Application' on linked server (hosting server) in schema 'ID'.
I am trying to view the details of same using sp_help.
But I'm not able to do it.
The problem is:
1. sp_help is in schema dbo. (It is obvious!)
2. But my table in another schema named ID. (e.g. select * from ID.Application)
I've added linked server to my local sql server management studio.
And tried:
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help applicantion
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help id.applicantion
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help sms.id.applicantion
'sms' is my database on linked server.
Results: syntax error.
I tried: SQL using sp_HelpText to view a stored procedure on a linked server
But my problem is 2 different schema.
Any suggestions??
Does this work?
exec [198.198.198.198].[sms].[dbo].sp_help 'id.applicantion'

I would like to insert data from prod server to dev server for a particular table.
I am using insert into SQL query and fully qualified name. That is I am specifying server name, databsename, schema name and table name.
insert into ServerADev.[ING_DB].dbo.[Table1]
select *
from ServerAProd.[ING_DB].dbo.[Table1]
where ID = '08914'
ID is the column in Table1.
For above query I am getting an error:
Cannot find ServerAProd in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.
When I EXEC sp_addlinkedserver #server='ServerAProd', I am getting:
User does not have permission to perform this action.
Do I need to make a request to DBA (database admin) to grant permission to perform this query?
You need to set up a linked server to query a foreign server.
So, either:
ServerAProd is not what you named the linked server
or
You didn't create a linked server yet. You can use the sp_addlinkedserver from the error message, or browse to "server objects" in the object explorer then right-click -> new on "Linked Servers". See the link above for more details.
For your edit... yes this requires permissions:
When using Transact-SQL statements, requires ALTER ANY LINKED SERVER permission on the server or membership in the setupadmin fixed server role. When using Management Studio requires CONTROL SERVER permission or membership in the sysadmin fixed server role.
1. create linked server for the dev server on production server,
2. use this openquery() to insert data, so that you can insert large data very quickly.
INSERT OPENQUERY (devservername, 'SELECT * FROM devservar_database..dev_server_table_name')
select * from production_table_database_name..production_table_table_name
If I create a database called MyDatabase and then wish to add a stored procedure to this database, do I have to specifically reference this database when running the SQL query for the stored procedure or is the stored procedure added to this database automatically?
A stored procedure is an object that belongs to one database exctly.
When you add the SP, it will be added to the database you are currently using.
To make sure you are running the current database, run this:
Use [MyDatabase]
GO
If you have selected your database in top left corner (Management Studio) MyDatabase the procedure will be created there. Else you can use the "Use" keyword I provide a little sample for you here.
Use MyDatabase
create procedure hello
as
select 'Hello World I'm a stored procedure'
go
And then run the exec command pointing to the name of the procedure
exec hello
If you have selected another database ex master you could exec the procedure by pointing out what database to use.
exec MyDatabase.dbo.hello
And the dbo schema is the default schema in SQL.
This is for SQL Server.
When I try to execute the below query it shown an error
Select * from [Domain].[Database Name].dbo.tblUser
Error:
Could not find server 'Domain' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.
Like the error says, if you wish to connect from one SQL Server to another, you need to add the other server as a linked server.
See the definition for sp_addlinkedserver for how to do this.
Given the remote server 'Production' (currently accessible via an IP) and the local database 'Development', how can I run an INSERT into 'Development' from 'Production' using T-SQL?
I'm using MS SQL 2005 and the table structures are a lot different between the two databases hence the need for me to manually write some migration scripts.
UPDATE:
T-SQL really isn't my bag. I've tried the following (not knowing what I'm doing):
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
#server = N'20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS',
#srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin '20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS', 'false',
'Domain\Administrator', 'sa', 'saPassword'
SELECT * FROM [20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS].[DatabaseName].[dbo].[Table]
And I get the error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is
not associated with a trusted SQL
Server connection.
create a linked server and then use 4 part notation
insert table
select <column names>
from LinkedserverName.DatabaseName.SchemaName.TableName
you can also use OPENROWSET
example
insert table
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=Seattle1;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'SELECT GroupName, Name, DepartmentID
FROM AdventureWorks2008R2.HumanResources.Department
ORDER BY GroupName, Name') AS a;
try this to create the login
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin #rmtsrvname=N'20.0.0.1\SQLEXPRESS',
#useself=N'False',
#locallogin=NULL,
#rmtuser=N'sa',
#rmtpassword='saPassword'
You can define the PROD Server as Linked Server to the DEV box and then access it.
However I think it would be easier to get a backup from PROD Box and Restore it to DEV or use SSIS for Schema Import.
Look into the RedGate tools, esp. SQL Data Compare. If that's not an option you should look at OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET to access the remote database.
Well you can use a linked server and then use the 4 part names for objects (See BOL for how to set up a linked server)
Or you could use SSIS to set up the data migrations and connect to the remote server
Or you could use OPENROWSET
I'd probably use SSIS, but I'm already familiar with it.
Use SSMS. Right click on the target DB and select "Tasks", "Import Data". You will be able to preview the data and make conversions visually. Save the package in SSIS or run it now.
How can I drop user from a database without dropping it's logging?
The script should check if the user exists in database, if does then drop the user.
Is this what you are trying to do??
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.database_principals WHERE name = N'username')
DROP USER [username]
If you are using SQL Server Management Studio you can browse to the user and right-click selecting delete.
The accepted answer is working good enough. Additionally that is good to know SQL Server added IF EXIST to some DROP commands from version 2016 (13.x) including 'DROP USER' command.
IF EXISTS
Applies to: SQL Server ( SQL Server 2016 (13.x) through current version, SQL Database).
Conditionally drops the user only if it already exists.
So you could just delete user as below:
-- Syntax for SQL Server and Azure SQL Database
DROP USER IF EXISTS user_name
See the full description in this link: DROP USER (Transact-SQL)
Hope this help.
